Johannesburg - Art, furniture and a silver tea-set belonging
to ANC struggle icon Winnie Madikizela-Mandela will go under the hammer next
week to repay a debt, it was reported on Tuesday.

She defaulted on a R20 000 payment of accommodation fees to
Abbotts College for her great niece Nobantu Vutela, according to court
documents reported on by The Sowetan.

The Johannesburg Magistrate's Court made a judgment against
her on 6 May 2011.

The newspaper reported that Alan Levy Attorneys had issued a
notice of a sale in execution at her home in Maseli Street, Orlando West,
Soweto, next Tuesday, at which only cash would be accepted.

Items up for auction included 50 paintings, a round table
and four chairs, one round table with 10 chairs, a 24-piece silver tea set,
books and sculptures, the Sowetan reported.

The Sowetan reported that Madikizela-Mandela signed an
agreement on 11 January 2008, pledging to pay R40 000 in accommodation fees for
Vutela. The outstanding amount of R20 000 included interest and legal fees.
